Good afternoon!!!
Please is it possible to get a closer date for medicals
The next date is in 3 weeks time.. I am devastated!

Best to go to the centre in person, the online is strictly on appointments.

Most of my students have got same day medical without appointment, ensure you have your yellow-card to save time.
NB: this is only applicable to Abuja, might be different for other centres , also note, Australia has specific days in the week, hence you might not get same day if it's not specific to Australia medicals.

It is better you go for Master, this is to makes it easier for you.

But if you still want to go for Bsc, it is still good but you will have to defends yourself, that is what have you been doing from 2015 till now, maybe you were doing business or farming or so.

Good day everyone,

I am currently applying for a PhD Program at University of Queensland, Australia.
I have been asked to a Statement of Purpose to show genuine temporary entrant.
Please can anyone share a sample SOP to serve as a guide.

Hello Everyone.

Please for a recent graduate (May 2022), is it necessary to show proof of work experience and salary payslips for visa application?

I have been in school in my final year and ASUU is frustrating my graduation. Can this be enough defense?

Recent graduate with payslip without a sponsor does't make much sense

Not enough reason unfortunately . Your statement should convince anyone that you are a Genuine student and you're mainly coming to Australia to study.

English test is an immigration requirement, again it increases your chances of securing ission as you'll be competing with thousands/millions of students that meets the requirements and have English test.

Just to clarify, GTE is a requirement for the issuance of CoE and you can only get OSHC when your CoE is out.

If you're applying from Nigeria, after an offer of ission , you'll apply for GTE with all requirements specified by the University.
If GTE is approved, then you'll pay for tuition and OSHC(Most schools require OSHC before they issue CoE)
Thereafter, you'll be issued CoE
Then you can apply for visa
Then Medical and Biometric
Then arrive Australia [color=#000099][/color]

So simple right ?

You can ask for waiver from your university. but then, you need to provide them with result of your waec/neco assuming you ed English in flying colors. You also need to provide them with cover letter from the dean of your faculty assuming you already have a first degree back in Nigeria.

In your exemption letter let them understand English has always been your medium of studies. You speak English in your family setting and Nigeria was colonized by British hence English is our official language.

The structure of your write up will determine if they will grant you waiver.

Immigration doesn't have the right to ask for IELTS as they are not the school they have accessed your eligibility unless your school isn't a streamline University.

Most schools require applicants coming from non English speaking countries to submit IELTS result. You will be amazed to know that South Africans have been removed from this list.

Well you may want to write a convincing statement as to why you should be exempted from writing IELTS. If the school is happy with it and you're an AL1 applicant, immigration won't ask for IELTS result.

Hi people,

Please, help me a couple of questions.
1. What do I need to apply for student visa for a full-funded phd program to Australia?

Application form and fees

COE from University

Are you traveling alone or with family? Bank statement depending on what sort of scholarship you have

Statement of purpose - not really necessary

port pages copied and certified by a notary

Police Clearance Certificate certified by a notary




2. I will be getting my CoE and oshc proof this week. Do I do biometrics & medicals before visa application?

Submit your OSHC with your COE

Medicals expires every 12months I suppose.
It's recommend you book in for one early enough as it may be difficult for you to find an appointment when asked by your case officer to go for one.





3. Please, what’s this GTE thing and at what stage do I need it?

GTE stand for Genuine Temporary Entrant.

Base on the documents you have provided, your University will assess you to ensure you're not just looking to come to Australia for economic reason. You will be in Australia solely for study and will return to your home country after your studies has completed.

They know that 99.9 of the students from Africa don't return to their countries but they don't want you rubbing it on their faces.

Anyways, they want you to show them you will be in Australia for no other reason other than studies.


I will appreciate any more info. Thanks

NeuroToby:
Good evening guys!
My name is Tomiwa and I've been given ission to study Master in public health at Curtin University, Torrens University and La Trobe University.
I think I've crossed the first huddle of deciding which one to go for, as I have concluded consider Torrens (basically because it's the cheapest).
Any advice on my decision is most welcome.

School resumes by February 20 and I plan to travel in January but the challenge is I feel like these 3 months that I have won't be enough to process Form A and Visa.
I will be sending in the documents for GTE assessment by ending of next week. (Bank statement is the reason for the delay).

Now to my questions...
1. How long does it take for assessment result to come out?
2. How long does form A take to be processed typically? (The other options are at least 2M more expensive)
3. Basically will the next 3 months be enough?
I will need the most practical ways to go about this and also best practices to engage.

Yes you can do self sponsorship, but at least 15m in ur , but if it’s a AL1 school like streamlined university you don’t need to submit any sort of proof of funds .
2., At least 4 months Bank statement is required.

Hello everyone,
Illd be needing a bit of a guidance.
Submitted application on the 20th of July,
Did biometrics and medical 8/9 August.
Got a refusal on the 21st September on this basis

“I acknowledge that the applicant has family ties to their home country and place some weight on that in favour of the applicant. However, I have concerns that these ties may not be a strong enough incentive for the applicant to depart Australia upon completion of their studies.
I give more weight to consideration of the applicant's potential economic circumstances in their home country compared to Australia and the value of the course to the applicant's future.
While I accept that obtaining qualifications from an Australian educational institution may positively influence employment and remuneration prospects in an applicant's home country, I am not satisfied that the applicant demonstrated how they would achieve this against the background of prevailing economic circumstances in their home country. The applicant implied a career pathway intention in their home country and how this would be an incentive for them to return, but did not provide any convincing evidence to this. I have considered the applicant's likely earning capacity in Australia and in their home country.
Based on the information before me, I am not satisfied the financial incentives to return home outweigh the financial incentives to remain in Australia. I therefore place little weight on the applicant's implied intention”

I’ve seen like 4 other people with same refusal notes.

My questions are
How long do we have to wait o reapply, what steps do we need to take to reapply
What can we do differently to have a favourable decision?
Thank you all

I'm very convinced that you got this refusal letter from Susan.... That Case Officer is something else in recent time... I think you should start prepping for reapplication immediately..
